Fire Alarm System in Ascot for Businesses
According to an article in Fire Magazine, the Chief Fire Officers’ Association (CFO) estimated around 60% of private businesses never recover from a fire with loss of critical data, working hours and replacement costs being just too great.
Realistically, could your business continue to trade effectively following a fire? How quickly would your competitors step in and take market share while your business is out of action?
It makes business sense to ensure proper insurance cover and the correct fire alarms, extinguishers and/or fire suppression equipment are in place. Install fire safes to store valuable documents and data backups. In some circumstances, you may also want an operational sprinkler system installed.
J-Tech will carry out a full site survey to help you determine the best protection for your business and its assets. After all, failing to budget properly for fire safety is, quite literally, playing with fire.

Why do I need a fire alarm service contract?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 demands that the responsible person must ensure that, where appropriate, the premises is equipped with appropriate fire detectors and alarms and that these are subject to a suitable system of maintenance and are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair by a competent person. BS 5839-1 provides guidance as to what is considered appropriate, suitable, efficient, good and competent.
To support them in this requirement, the Responsible Person must appoint a Competent Person (a Service Provider who has sufficient training, experience or knowledge (18.5)) to assist them in undertaking the preventative and protective measured. (18.1) BS 5839 Part 1 Recommends that all fire alarm and detection systems are subject to a regular inspection and servicing arrangement. The period between successive visits by the Competent Person should not exceed a period of 6 months. 100% of the equipment on the system must be checked over a 12 month period.
The inspection can be split into as many visits as is required to ensure that 100% of the equipment has been checked. While a Service Provider can conduct an annual (100%) inspection in 1 visit, we are still required to attend site at least once every 6 months to perform the Periodic Inspection. The Service Provider, with the permission of the Customer, can choose to conduct the annual inspection over 2 visits (checking 50% of equipment during each).

Why do I need a minimum of 2 maintenance visits a year?
Two visits per year is the recommended minimum to comply with BS-5839 Part 1. During the visit, your engineer will check the detection, sounders, batteries and more.
